Get Well card with a reused floral panel, ribbon and a large layered greeting


 Winding down with the stash cards.  This one features a panel from a used card that has roses on a yellow background.  I added a deep rose red ribbon and then mounted it to a layer of green cardstock and then to a yellow card.  I started my layered greeting with a large one from Desert Diva which I die cut into a round with my Nestibilities and very lightly sponged the edges with green ink.  I added a yellow layer, a deep rose circle and then mounted this to an embossed  (Swiss Dot - CB) decorative label (SU) which I colourwashed to coordinate.  I mounted the greeting to my card front using 3D foam tape.

Father's Day card featuring a fabric paper background, a stitched leather leaf on a collaged layer and a layered greeting

For my fourth card I trimmed another piece of the same fabric paper I used on my last card to size using my wavy cutter.  I created a large label die cut (TH _SX) which I colour washed, collaged with green tinged papers and then added some skeleton leafs as my fnal layer.  I trimmed all of these to the edge of my label.  Once it was dry, I punched two little slots on each end (SU) and ran a piece of green vintage seam binding through.  I thought it needed yet a bit more texture so I ran a row of stitching around the edge using my sewing machine with no thread in it.  That was better!!  I adhered the tag to my background, folded the ends of my seam binding to the back and secured them with double sided tape.  I mounted my leaf with double sided tape in the center of my label  after stitching veins in it with orange thread.  I colour washed a small font greeting (Word Window - SU), layered it on a green label (Modern Label -SU)  and mounted it to the front of my card using 3D foam tape.  Really enjoying making these large card with so much texture!!  Therese
